This game is glitched to hell and back. Listen man, I own these disks too, and I couldn't even get them to run on frickin' Windows 95.  It only ran for a short time before crashing without me ever leaving my ship.

I'll try and see if I can't play with it on XP, I guess... let you know how that turns out.

Okay, what is it you can't get to work about it?  Because my problem is that the mouse pointer is... invisible, apparently... rendering the game unplayable.  Plus the "Digital Sound" no longer works, so none of the voices or sound effects will function in XP, just the music.  But I did get it to install otherwise.

During normal windows install it just stops on one of the files and freezes. Eiher owire or owirex file. When i try to install w/ dosbox it says disk not found and goes to setup. Plus i havn't located disk 2 yet. Also it seems as though my dvd burner hates the cd. The disk is in almost new condition. It will let me browse the diks but will randomly freeze windows. Since the disk is ok i tend to lean towards the dvd drive hates it. I'm getting frustrated, at least u could install.
